Who Rates Best (& Worst) in the Chicago Area? Now You'll Know.
|
The big hardware chains give most independent stores a drubbing on the price front, but there are many small independents sprinkled throughout the area that provide what many consumers want most: helpful information and advice. A few of these stores even make a reasonable showing on price, and bring a lot of other strengths to the table. We'll help you find them.

CHECKBOOK provides subscriber comments on their experiences with the firms they use. Please remember that individual subscriber comments are informal. Subscriber comments may give you insight into the types of features and problems that exist in a service field, but are not the best basis for selecting or rejecting a specific firm. To assess the quality of a firm's performance, we recommend that you give more weight to the percentages of favorable ratings. Those percentages are generally based on much larger numbers of consumers' ratings (the number of consumer ratings is noted above).
|
As You Can See Below, Some Hardware Stores Get High Praise from Their Customers. Some Others Don't. So Choose Carefully.
Here Are a Few Samples of the Thousands of Comments CHECKBOOK Has Collected on Hundreds of Different Hardware Stores.
